GEEZ!

Emergency surgery on Christmas Eve!

Yanda told reporters he had calf surgery the same night he was injured in Cleveland, on Christmas Eve. The first-time Pro Bowler started and played in Cincinnati only a week later.
“I got leg-whipped in my calf area,” Yanda said. “They had to do emergency surgery that night and slit the muscle open to release the pressure. I was dealing with that, too.
“It was a nasty scar and a [crappy] way to spend Christmas Eve, but that was the way it was. I was fighting that, too. That was really sore, and my ribs.”

~THIS~ type of player makes rooting for the Ravens all that much better. Marshal Yanda IMO has shown a lot of dedication to the team by putting his team first and suffering through something which would sideline most players.
Not sure if the NFL makes offensive guard jerseys, however, if they do, I would certainly wear a Yanda jersey with pride.

One of my best friends is a surgeon at Union Memorial. Before the Cincy game he told me that there was no way Yanda played, and that we would be lucky to have him in the playoffs. He wouldn't tell me what the injury was but just said that he wouldn't be playing. Sure enough, Yanda played against Cincy and played well. My friend was astonished and still can't believe that he was able to play. Very glad Ozzie locked him up. He is the best RG in football and obviously one tough SOB.
